Four African-American and one Latino young men ages 14-16 were charged for assaulting and raping Trisha Meili while she was jogging in Central Park. The argument in this controversial case is racism. ]]> 2017-10-30 03:56:11 UTC https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201590334 shbyrd https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201592986 My position on the argument is that the teenage boys were convicted because of their race. New York at that time, was full of racial violence, so the moment the woman jogger was attacked, they assume a colored person is guilty for it.]]> 2017-10-30 04:18:14 UTC https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201592986 shbyrd https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201593980 Many people believe that racism has nothing to do with the case. They believe that the five boys were actually guilty (before Matias Reyes confessed). Donald Trump even created a newspaper article about how they should get the death penalty.]]> 2017-10-30 04:29:22 UTC https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201593980 shbyrd https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201594933 There is no physical evidence to prove that the teenage boys are guilty. Their conviction was based solely on planned, pressured confessions from the detectives. ]]> 2017-10-30 04:39:37 UTC https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201594933 shbyrd https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201596748 This case is filled with emotion. Imagine being in prison for 6-13 years for a crime you didn't commit. Imagine how these young boys parents feel with their innocent sons being taken away from them. Imagine getting out of prison and not being able to have a normal life ever again. The story is depressing and heartbreaking. ]]> 2017-10-30 05:00:04 UTC https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201596748 shbyrd https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201598246 This whole case is a fallacy. The wrong people were convicted. Matias Reyes was the real rapist. The five teenage boys lives were effected forever.]]> 2017-10-30 05:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201598246 shbyrd https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201598736 2017-10-30 05:25:31 UTC https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201598736 shbyrd https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201598909 2017-10-30 05:27:36 UTC https://padlet.com/shbyrd/5ji37dwaei3c/wish/201598909
